Brees knew Lutz would kick Saints’ game-winner

New Orleans Saints star Drew Brees knew Wil Lutz would kick the game-winning field goal as the team stunned the Houston Texans at the death.

The Saints came away with a dramatic 30-28 win over the Texans after Lutz drilled a 58-yard field goal as time expired on Monday.

Saints quarterback Brees was asked about what he was thinking in the game’s final moments during a news conference shortly after the kick.

“I was very confident,” Brees said. “Just a ton of confidence. For all of us, just to get back into that situation, where we had a chance to win the game, I think we all felt like it was going to happen.

“The minute you heard that ball go off his foot, it was a thundering kick, I think we all knew it was going through the uprights.”
